Know when someone copies your Steam game.
CloneHound searches Steam for games that copy your title, studio name, store text or header art. You get a ranked list with the reasons, and paid plans check daily and send side-by-side proof you can report.
Clones can show up before you launch
Indie developers have been posting about copycat pages appearing on Steam, some built from nothing more than a store page and trailer. In October 2026 Valve staff told developers to focus on originality and to contact law enforcement about extortion threats (GamesRadar+). Spotting a copy early is still up to you.
CloneHound doesn't take anything down and doesn't make legal calls. It finds likely copies early and puts the evidence in one place, so you can decide what to do. See how to report a clone on Steam.
Possible lookalike, not a verdict
Every result is labeled as automated similarity. Genre neighbors and fan-favorite mechanics are not clones, and the reasons list helps you tell the difference fast.
Find copies you haven't spotted yet
Competitor trackers watch games you already picked. CloneHound goes looking for the ones you don't know about.
1. Paste your Steam link
We read your public store page: name, studio, description, genres and header art.
2. We search and compare
Fuzzy title matching (typos, “Simulator” and “2” suffixes), studio names, copied store text and a perceptual hash of the header image.
3. You get evidence
A ranked list with reasons, a shareable side-by-side page, and on paid plans a dated proof pack with a drafted Steam report.
Your hit game shouldn't fund 100 copies.
Roblox clone scans are live as automated AI reports: we compare similar experiences by name, description and icon, search the web and X, and email you the report in a few minutes. Leaked-asset and trend alerts are still rolling out.
Clone monitoring
Scans Roblox experiences for similar names, icons and descriptions.
Leaked asset alerts
Flags experiences using your uploaded meshes, decals, audio or UI.
Evidence pack
Side-by-side matches with created dates for your official Roblox report (DMCA / Rights Manager).
Trend alerts
Tells you when your game's genre is spiking, so you know when clones are likely.
Four signals, each with a reason you can read
Title
Exact, near-exact and padded titles: typos, reordered words, “Simulator”, “Online”, “2”.
Studio name
The same or nearly the same developer or publisher name on a page that isn't yours.
Store text
Reused phrases and closely matching descriptions, the usual sign of a copied page.
Header art
A 64-bit perceptual hash spots near-identical capsules even after resizing or recompression.

Choose Roblox StudioQuestions, answered
What does CloneHound do?
It looks for Steam store pages that resemble your game: similar or padded titles (like adding “Simulator”), the same or nearly the same studio name, copied store text and near-identical header art. Each result lists the reasons and a similarity score.
Is a result proof that a game is a clone?
No. Results are automated similarity checks, not legal findings. Many similar games are legitimate genre neighbors. Use the reasons and side-by-side view to decide for yourself.
Is the free scan really free?
Yes. Paste a Steam link or app id and get one scan per day without signing up. Paid plans add daily automatic checks and email alerts.
What do paid plans include?
Solo is $12/month for 1 game. Studio is $29/month for up to 5 games. Both include daily checks of newly listed Steam games, email alerts with a side-by-side view, studio-name warnings and a proof pack with a drafted report. Roblox Studio is $99/month for up to 10 experiences with priority scans; Roblox experiences get automated AI clone reports and a weekly re-check with new matches emailed automatically, the plan also watches up to 10 Steam games, and leaked-asset and trend alerts are rolling out.
Do you scan Roblox today?
Yes. Choose “Roblox studio” in the scan form, paste your experience or group link and add your email. We compare similar Roblox experiences and Steam games by name, description and icon, search the web and X, and email you the report automatically, usually within a few minutes (within 24 hours on very busy days). Leaked-asset and trend alerts are still rolling out.
Does a person check reports before they're sent?
No. Reports are generated automatically with AI (xAI Grok) from public store data and emailed straight to the person who requested them, without human review. They are estimates, not legal advice. Automated checks keep the wording neutral (“similar to”, “possible clone”, never accusations), and every report includes the official Roblox and Steam reporting links. We never file takedowns or contact other developers for you.
How fast does the report arrive?
Usually within a few minutes of your request. If our daily scanning capacity is used up, your scan waits in the queue and the report arrives within 24 hours. Steam free scans show results on screen instantly, and you can add your email to get a copy.
Can you take down a Roblox game that copies my gameplay?
Usually not. Copyright covers your assets, code and text, not mechanics. We show what may be actionable.
Where does the data come from?
Public data only: Steam store pages, store search and app lists, public Roblox experience pages, and public web pages and X posts found by search. AI reports are written by xAI Grok. We don't need your Steam, Steamworks or Roblox login.
Will you report the clone for me?
No. We draft the report text and collect links, dates and screenshots, but only you (the rights holder) can decide to file a report or a DMCA notice with Valve.
Is CloneHound affiliated with Valve or Steam?
No. We're an independent tool. Steam is a trademark of Valve Corporation.
